Abstract
Background and aims: Despite the advances in medical therapies, a significant proportion of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases [IBD]
require surgical intervention. This Topical Review aims to offer expert consensus practice recommendations for peri-operative care to optimize
outcomes of IBD patients who undergo surgery.
Methods: A multidisciplinary panel of IBD healthcare providers systematically reviewed aspects relevant to peri-operative care in IBD. Consensus
statements were developed using Delphi methodology.
Results: A total of 20 current practice positions were developed following systematic review of the current literature covering use of medication
in the peri-operative period, nutritional assessment and intervention, physical and psychological rehabilitation and prehabilitation, and immediate
postoperative care.
Conclusion: Peri-operative planning and optimization of the patient are imperative to ensure favourable outcomes and reduced morbidity. This
